popularity complex

let's be a Hollywood cliche
let's fight and die for a popularity high
as though love can be bought, sold and traded
to replace the insecurities of talentless whores
who think the American Dream is the end of all dreams

let's be slaves to a system that make believes we're free
work hard, love hard, party hard, save your money
have it all, so you can die alone

let's be puppets for expectations of glory
like soldiers who's greatest act of patriotism is murder
we'll call it life and pretend that we're happy

yeah, I want to be popular
